I have little dislike of the Junior as it was easy to work on, easy to fix, and they have to be the UK's all time best selling model. What I do dislike about them is that although they can sweep and beat up grit, they can have a good deal of difficulty in sucking it away. I think maybe this was because the suction port was so far up the cleaner meaning that the heavier grit was not successfully lifted high up enough by the suction to take it away, and there it was left to ricochet off the roller brush for all eternity. Tipping the cleaner back from the carpet when switched on could launch that loose grit particle into outer space.
